I couldn't find any fabric with the crappy on it so I used my embroidery machine to do them right on the background fabric, like I wanted them. The fabric looks more like forest and I think that is what it was called (something to do with forest) but if any of you go pond fishing you can see that it also looks a lot like the pond waters where the Crappie hang out in.
Actually, I could only find 2 embroideries of fish that looked like the real fish but I used the 4D Extra program and turn those two pictures into 16 different ones so they would all be different. In one of the pictures, my DH asked if I could put some sea grass in it, I couldn't find any embroidery that had any that would work but I did find a bunch of carrots with grassy tops. So I cut out the carrots and kept the tops and added it to the fish. The colors were not right either so I also changed them and if I could get a better picture, I could show you that I also used different shades of color in them so they didn't look to much like each other.
